Shame

Shame.

Shame.

Shame.

Those were the words resonating from the halls of Wisconsin’s state capitol as their lower body passed the much discussed union bill. I first heard the audio of the event, and assumed the ruckus was resonating from rowdy rabble-rousers in the viewer’s gallery. After all, the protestors have lived in the very building for 2 weeks.

But later, I saw the video. The shouts came from Democratic law makers, the people’s public servants. Dressed in orange T-shirts (presumably a show of solidarity), the Democrats stood there, pointing at their Republican colleagues, howling “shame.” After 60 straight hours of debate over mostly Democratic amendments, the vote surprisingly passed in a body of majority Republicans. Who woulda thunk it.

To the Left, these state representatives are heroes. But let’s rewind history 18 months and remember a solitary outburst in the US House of Representatives. The two words uttered by Rep. Joe Wilson, “you lie!,” was the end of civility and decorum as we know it (and probably racist on some level!). He apologized despite the cries for censure and what not. Yet Democratic lawmakers who menacingly assail their colleagues for voting how they believe are union heroes. Another bullet point to the long list of the Left's cognitive dissonance.

The Democrats clearly show they can’t even handle the democratic process, what a shame.
